I saw a something with a couple of baskets hung on a bathroom wall, inside the baskets were towels. This was mainly for a small bathroom space...how do I anchor the baskets to the wall?

I would use two nails for each basket, making sure they are level.
Hi MaryAlice, If you do not want to use a shelf of some kind, then the baskets will not take much weight, but they can be fixed by drilling a screw through them on to a batton in the wall or on the wall.........
MaryAlice,
Were it me, I would put up a sturdy board attached to the studs (16" centers), paint or stain it as you wish, and then attach the baskets to the board. Why? Sometimes something that is used constantly, such as baskets holding items for the bathroom, can pull out the molly bolts used to anchor things to sheetrock.
Here's how one person did it https://www.thekimsixfix.com/2012/05/turning-baskets-into-shelves.html I'd add some lrg washers on inside of baskets so screws don't break basket fibers and come loose.

I would get big hooks and screw them into studs. Then put the top of the baskets on the hooks. Whatever you use to put them up, make sure that you put them into studs.
